Reunion Time

Most of the doobies attending the family gathering this year are probably on their way already and won't receive this, but I just thought I'd make an entry before I head out. Tomorrow afternoon I'll take a Northwest flight to Minneapolis and then on to Kalamazoo. Scheduled arrival time is 10:35 pm, but with summer weather, anything can happen. Friday has many possibilities for family bonding. Amanda is making a visit to Hope College , so I may tag along so that I can also see Uncle Darel. Hopefully there's enough time to pick fresh blueberries. Picking's not the fun part, it's the eating I'm after. I'm also hoping there's time for a rematch in the Pott's Family Volleyball Tournament. With the reunion on Saturday, my only goals are to pile on the oliebollen and brush up on my sailing skills. I'll have just enough time to go to church with the family before I need to verify at the airport. My routing back to Dubuque will take me through Detroit in addition to Minneapolis. Flights look full at the moment, but there's always a chance someone will misconnect or cancel, allowing me a seat to get home.
